Anything drenched in syrup is my favorite! I love a delicious, sweet breakfast! I prefer using sugar free syrups, and use Golden Griddle brand because it doesn't have aspartame. Here are some of my favorites:Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Waffles

Mix topping ingredients and bake in a small dish for about 10 minutes until the oats begin to crsip. Meanwhile, mix egg whites, almond milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dip each piece of bread into mixture on both sides and cook in a well sprayed pan. Toss fresh peach slices with cinnamon and microwave for a minute or two in 1-2T of water until softened. Top french toast with oat topping, peach slices, and 1T of fat free cool whip.WW Smart Points: 5

Sweet Potato and Apple Chocolate Chip Pancakes:

4oz sweet potato chunks

3/4 of an apple

1t vanilla

1/2t cinnamon

1/2 baking powder

1/4t baking soda

3 egg whites

2T oats

2-3T water

Toppings: 2T sugar free syrup, 2gm mini chocolate chips

Cut the sweet potato and apple into chunks. Place in a bowl with a bit of water (like a tablespoon or two) and microwave for a few minutes until soft. Place the sweet potato and apple in blender with all remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Spray a pan with cooking spray and cook on medium heat or a few minutes on each side. They won't bubble up like regular pancakes, just check the underside for done-ness! Topped with 2T of sugar free syrup and 2gm of mini chocolate chips.

Dip one side of the sandwich in the egg mixtures, then flip it and dip the other side. Cook in a sprayed pan over medium heat for a few minutes on each side. Top with syrup!*This egg mixture makes enough for 4 pieces of bread, or two sandwiches. I also use this as a base french toast recipe for 3 smartpoints (2 for the bread, 1 for half the egg mixtures)--you can include whatever toppings or stuffings you want!)WW Smart points: 4Banana Egg Waffles (Grain Free)These are commonly made as pancakes on the interwebs, but I make them as waffles because 1) it's a lot easier..flipping them as pancakes requires some practice! and 2) it cooks faster!2 eggs1 banana1t vanilla1/2t cinnamon1/2 t baking powderBlend all ingredients until smooth.

Make the egg dip by mixing the egg, whites, milk, vanilla and cinnamon (this makes enough for 4 pieces, so I count it as 1 smart point for 2 pieces in this recipe). Assemble your "sandwich" by spreading the nutella on one piece of bread, and laying out your banana slices. Top with the other piece of bread and dip each side in the egg mixture. Cook for a couple minutes on each side in a well sprayed pan. Top with the rest of your banana slices, syrup, and sprinkle of powdered sugar!WW Smart Points: 5Carrot Cake Kodiak Cake CrepesFor the crepes: 1/4c Kodiak Power Cakes mix1/8t baking soda1/4t cinnamon1/2t brown sugarpinch of ginger1 heaping Tbs finely shredded carrot1 heaping T crushed pineapple3T egg whites1/4c water1/2t vanillaFilling:1T fat free cool whip2T nonfat vanilla greek yogurt1T whipped cream cheeseMix crepe ingredients and cook on medium heat in a well sprayed pan.

hello

I'm Whitney.

I'm mostly just trying to keep my head above water over here (and by water I mean a sea of diapers, dirty dishes, and Pinterest ideas).
I also like to decorate and throw some parties along the way! Because if you're treading water you might as well throw some glitter in the air and paint a few things while you're at it. ..Right?
